Shrimp Gambino

"This is from the Chicago Tribune and when I tried it, I understood why the author described it as "something a mobster would eat." It's rich, satisfying and luxurious. And simple to double the servings. You could serve this as an appetizer, or a main course."

This recipe was posted in our local paper so I gave it a try. 5 people in my house disliked it. It talks about a sauce, but there's no liquid to make a sauce. Baking the dish after cooking the shrimp and pasta just made it dry and the feta cheese never melted. After we all ate, I added a pint of whipping cream to it, mixed it all around to moisten the pasta and we tried it again. Much better. I think this is missing an ingredient.

This really is very good and super simply and easy to make. Improved greatly if you make certain the shrimp relatively dry when cooked. This is particularly impotent when you use frozen shrimp. It is better with a little more cheese and I mix the cheese with the pasta and shrimp before I insert into the oven. Make certain not to overcook the pasta, it cooks more in the oven, al a dent is about right. This is a family favorite.
